Agreed. I've seen people here use the seeds and they seem quite viable(though I have no experience personally).

theyll grow into opium poppies, but the genes arent as solid as other breeds. itd be a hella cheap and easy way to get into the craft of poppy gardening tho. id reccomend it if u are new to poppies and have the space, time and desire to do such a grow. i always get my seeds from ethnoshops and seedbanks but ive heard of many people growing them out. i even threw down a sprikle or two this year from a spice can of mc cormick seeds, so well see how that goes.
the germ rate might be a little lower than other seed sources but some will def get growing and going. good luck tripp23

no shit? thats impressive. was the tar of decent quality? some strains can lack a nice concentration level in the tar (weak shit) and ive read from others that mc cormick's seeds arent as good as sum other strains out there.... what did u think of them? also, what color are the petals usually on those (not that it matters that much other than i wanna be able to eye them out from the rest)? im growing 2 unknown breeds this year and one is from a light sprinkle of the mc cormick seeds. im intruiged by yer last post and hope i get the success u had
man i was mixed up. i heard they sucked in contrast to other strains. tho most of what ive grown hasnt gotten over 3 feet.

ok,I've found that the regular cheap McCormick seeds in the small plastic container grow smaller single podded plants.The Expensive Gourmet kind in the glass jar produce the bigger multi podded plants.mine kept on pushing out pod after pod.I would harvest pods,then they would grow more.It was amazing,and they never died until I finally cut them down.The plants are the Tasmanian looking ones with the white petals,and pinkish purple splotches.I don't grow poppies for Alkaloids,but I can tell you they indeed rival that of some of the more expensive vendor bought seeds ;-)Also,the quality remained the same every year I grew them out :-)

They will grow, but I don't know if the final product will be very well good. I would just try some out, a jar isn't much and you can experiment with the product.
If the seeds are being grown from plants of commercial grade genetics then no doubt they should produce something nice, as KBG pointed out.

thanks you both. ive grown what is the suspected tazzies before and i was somewhat impressed. the ones with the mostly white petals and the purple/pinkish throats. they got biggish (not 4-5 feet but that couldve been my fault) but the tar wasnt as drop dead awesum as other strains. nevertheless its good to have variety in the grow space. '
the seeds ive got were from the glass bottles, the little ones, so thats cool for me i guess i like how u said that they put out popd after pod, thats awesum. most of the time with my experience, they just put out like 2 and then decide to die off. its nice to see sumtim with sum vigor
thx again fellas
